Chapter 24: bl**d Spirit Sect, Destroyed!
Inside the bl**d Spirit Sect.
Groans continued to echo, making one feel as if they were in a hellish place.
Above the sky.
Strong figures kept arriving, completely surrounding this area, leaving no room for escape.
Yan Shan and others stepped out of the sect gate with horrified faces, looking up.
Their hearts instantly turned cold.
Liyue Celestial Dynasty’s Xuan Bird Guard, Jade Pool Sacred Land’s Liu Piaopiao, the Eight Elders of Tai Chu Sacred Land, and the Young Sword Saint of the Pei Family.
Together, these forces would easily crush a small sect like the bl**d Spirit Sect; there was no room for resistance.
What chance did they have to fight back?
The highest-ranking members of the bl**d Spirit Sect were Sect Master Yan Shan and the Supreme Elder, both at the early stage of the Combination Realm.
But among those who came today, Zhao Shanhe and others were at the Great Ascension Realm!
How could they possibly win?
In addition to these top-tier forces, other sects from Azure Prefecture also arrived one after another.
Yan Shan’s face turned dark green, changing constantly as he exhaled, “Heaven wants me dead, heaven wants me dead!”
At this moment, everything had turned into nothingness.
The complete destruction of the bl**d Spirit Sect was inevitable, let alone killing someone like Yan Changkong.
Seeing this scene, the elders of the bl**d Spirit Sect had different views, their eyes towards Yan Shan changed.
They cursed inwardly, if not for Yan Shan, the bl**d Spirit Sect wouldn’t be suffering such a great calamity.
Yan Shan took a deep breath, his eyes filled with ferocity, “Activate the formation! Let’s fight them to the end!”
His gaze swept around, his murderous intent chilling everyone, “Elders, do you think these people will spare you?”
“If you want to wait for d*ath, continue watching!”
“If you want to fight for a chance to live, follow me!”
Yan Shan’s words struck everyone like a heavy hammer, making them realize the truth.
Indeed!
No matter what, if the bl**d Spirit Sect does not unite now, they are truly doomed.
A fight might offer a chance to survive.
After all, Yan Shan is their primary target, and escaping during chaos would be easier.
Boom!
Within the bl**d Spirit Sect, energy burst forth without reserve.
Instantly, spiritual energy surged, causing earthquakes.
Between the mountains, the glow of arrays lit up, connecting to form the bl**d Spirit Sect’s protective formation.
Finally, the protective formation transformed into a barrier like a turtle shell, sealing off the bl**d Spirit Sect.
Any cultivators below the Combination Realm who dared to forcefully break through would be severely suppressed.
Above the sky.
Zhao Shanhe stood on the Xuan Bird, his eyes glinting coldly, “Stubborn fools, k*ll them!”
Whoosh!
As he spoke, he waved his hand, his longsword slashing down, gathering a blade aura thousands of feet long.
The sharp sword intent exploded, cutting through the heavens and earth.
Wherever the blade aura passed, space collapsed and shattered, transforming into elements like earth, water, wind, and fire, continuously exploding.
Crack!
The blade aura struck the protective formation, pausing only briefly before continuous explosions echoed.
Clink—
The formation shattered, countless disciples within the bl**d Spirit Sect suffered backlash, retreating and spitting bl**d.
“Pfft—”
Disciples fell to the ground, lifeless.
Yan Shan and the elders also stumbled back dozens of steps, their faces pale.
When they looked up again, they were filled with despair!
This is the terror of the Great Ascension Realm?
With just one slash!
They shattered their protective formation.
Zhao Shanhe scanned the area, his gaze landing directly on Yan Shan, his voice solemn:
“The emperor has ordered that your body be flayed alive, your soul refined by true fire, until you d*e in agony.”
Yan Shan angrily retorted, “Which emperor? What grudge does he have with me?”
Zhao Shanhe replied indifferently, “Does the emperor need a reason to k*ll you?”
Whoosh!
In the next moment, Zhao Shanhe’s figure flashed, disappearing from the Xuan Bird, his palm extending to grab Yan Shan.
“You can’t escape!”
The Xuan Bird Guards followed suit, each unleashing their techniques, raining down like hail.
The Xuan Bird spat out true fire, turning the bl**d Spirit Sect into a sea of flames.
These Xuan Birds contained a trace of the ancient great demon phoenix’s bloodline, their flames far more terrifying than those of cultivators.
They could burn through flesh, spirit, and mana, leaving no trace behind.
At the same time,
Others from Jade Pool Sacred Land and other forces saw the battle ignite and did not want to be left behind.
They joined the fray.
They feared being killed by the Xuan Bird Guards if they were late.
This was an uneven battle, and the bl**d Spirit Sect was already at a disadvantage from the start.
They couldn’t even resist, let alone fight back.
Life after life was harvested, corpses littering the ground, rivers of bl**d flowing.
This is the cruelty of the cultivation world.
For a sect, being destroyed in the blink of an eye is not uncommon.
The Xuan Bird Guards are experts in torturing cultivators.
Yan Shan, falling into Zhao Shanhe’s hands, endured much before being killed.
Several hours later…
This great battle gradually came to an end under one-sided slaughter.
The remaining members of the bl**d Spirit Sect could be considered non-existent.
Perhaps only those who were away on training missions escaped.
But the bl**d Spirit Sect was undoubtedly destroyed.
The once-dominant sect in the southern part of Azure Prefecture for tens of thousands of years had vanished.
However—
Something that happened next made everyone present wish they could k*ll Yan Shan and his followers again!
Everyone clenched their teeth in hatred.
During the cleanup, someone found countless children’s bones in a cellar of the bl**d Spirit Sect.
Some commoners and teenagers were still alive inside, not yet killed.
These living commoners were sent out of the bl**d Spirit Sect.
“Cursed!”
“This cellar was a secret alchemy room. The bl**d Spirit Sect used these commoners to refine some kind of medicine!”
“No wonder nearby cities frequently lost children and young girls.”
“How many lives does this pile of bones represent?”
“Even if we k*ll every member of the bl**d Spirit Sect, it won’t repay the debt owed to these dead souls!”
Most cultivators view life rather lightly.
Killing and plundering treasures is common in the cultivation world.
But most cultivators value consequences and won’t k*ll commoners without cause.
There were ruthless and decisive individuals present, but seeing this scene,
Their hearts were filled with righteous indignation!
The actions of the bl**d Spirit Sect could be described as utterly heartless.
Originally, some were reluctant to k*ll so many ordinary disciples of the bl**d Spirit Sect.
Now, they felt they hadn’t done enough.
Such a sect, if not completely eradicated, would be a disaster for all living beings!
Yan Changkong was also furious, finally venting his anger on the treasures…
He instructed Grand Elder Chen Xiu, “Order the disciples to take everything they can from the bl**d Spirit Sect!”
“Even the palaces they can’t move should be dismantled and transported in batches!”
Chen Xiu was surprised, “Won’t this make us look too greedy?”
Yan Changkong’s face hardened:
“Would you rather waste them? Do you understand ‘plucking feathers from a flying goose’? Now is when our sect needs to grow quickly, all resources must be utilized!”
“Bring back even the prettier mountains!”
Chen Xiu: “…”
Though he thought the sect leader’s actions seemed petty, overall, it was for the good of the sect!
Chen Xiu didn’t hesitate, immediately turning to instruct the disciples.
Cleaning the battlefield and inventorying spoils wasn’t just their sect’s responsibility.
Many other sects and independent cultivators were involved.
Of course, top-tier forces like the Liyue Celestial Dynasty and Jade Pool Sacred Land wouldn’t stoop to looting.
They left after resolving the battle.
Back to reading the diary.
There were still two entries left to read.
However, after this incident, many sect leaders felt fear.
They thought about whether their sects had ever offended the Eternal Emperor?
Please don’t let any foolish ones have a grudge against the Eternal Emperor.
Otherwise, mentioning this diary could lead to the same fate as the bl**d Spirit Sect, causing dread and fear.
